THE Oxford History of the United X States is one of the great achievements of modern historical scholarship. The series, which began appearing in 1982 and has since won three Pulitzer prizes, includes some exceptional individual volumes, such as James McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom", about the civil war, and David Kennedy's "Freedom From Fear", which covered the Depression and the second world war. It maintains a consistently high standard of excellence throughout and is notably better, on average, than the "Oxford History of England". David Kennedy, the current series editor, deserves the highest praise.
